DESCRIPTION: This transformational and healing six-week program offers a safe space for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence to gain greater awareness of self through strength, stability, assertiveness, and mindfulness.

Participants will be guided through weekly themes for healing, with a focus on building resilience. We will explore mindful movement and restorative postures, practice positive affirmations with intention and gratitude, and offer guided meditation and relaxation techniques. Classes integrate journaling, art, and therapeutic activities to support self-expression and emotional processing.

Each session builds upon the last, allowing participants to develop a personal ‘toolbox’ of self-regulation strategies—tools that may support better sleep, reduced anxiety and depression, and improved coping with symptoms of PTSD. A licensed mental health clinician will be available throughout the program to ensure added support.

All participants will receive a yoga mat, journal, and course materials.

To honor the limited group size and ensure spaces are held with care, a $50 deposit is required to register. This deposit is non-refundable and helps support program capacity and participant commitment. All other costs are fully covered by grant funding. Need based deposit waivers are available to ensure accessibility for all participants. 

*Women who have been impacted by Domestic Violence and/or Sexual Assault only.
